A new wellbeing festival is coming to Bristol
Move, eat, connect and explore are the four themes of Wild & Well, a new festival taking place in across Bristol over the weekend of October 20 and 21.
“Festivals offer people a sense of belonging, community and connection that’s so rare in the ‘real’ world now,” said Wild & Well co-founder Aisling Mustan.
“For us, it’s all about creating a new model for health and wellbeing that’s based around these principles, not around achieving Instagrammable perfection!

“It’s about finding the right route to wellbeing for you. We’ll be presenting hundreds of ideas and insights and empowering people to choose what works best for them.”
A yurt on Brandon Hill will provide the focus for the food and drink events, while Ashton Court will host activities like trail running, mountain biking, forest school, hiking and foraging.
Wild & Well’s Move events hope to emphasise feel-good fun rather than feeling the burn, with fitness classes from drum’n’bass workouts to ballroom dancing.
The festival has also teamed up with Bestival to bring SPIINBOX to Bristol for the first time; a unique spinning studio created by DJ Rob Da Bank and former Olympic triathlete Tim Weeks.
Two dedicated yoga venues will offer a diverse programme of classes and workshops, while At We The Curious and the Arnolfini will host panel talks and workshops with a diverse lineup of speakers.
If that’s not enough, the festival will also be taking over the IMAX cinema within Bristol Aquarium for a Wild Film Festival.
A limited number of early bird tickets for the Wild & Well festival are now available from £25. To book tickets and for more information, visit www.wildandwell.org.
